Just Dreams

☯ Chapter 5 ☯

After I spoke there was a long period of awkward silence, before Layna cupped her hands over my left ear and whispered "wow, Ann what was that all about?" I didn't answer because I thought that my secret would've been kept better if I only knew. Although I knew Layna since kindergarten, I still didn't want to trust her with my thoughts.

I tried not making any eye contact until Carly started a conversation about how she hated her science teacher. But, Harry and I were the only ones that didn't speak; although he kept looking at me, and would turn away when I'd look back.

**** after school ****

"Ana?!? Ana?!?" I hear a gentle, accented voice from behind. I turn around in a startle from the edge of the sidewalk, as I see Harry stand 4 feet away from me. "Sorry I didn't mean to startle you that way.." He says as he continues... "I know we just met today, but you seemed really nice, would you maybe...want to go out with me somewhere tonight?"

I force a smile away from my thoughts, as I answer in an asserted voice... " I have some homework for tonight but I'd love to come, is 7:30 ok?" He smiles back, making his dimple appear, as he nods his head and says "I'll see you then..."

My stomach fills with nervous butterflies as I walk up the alley towards my house.

*****TIME SKIP******

After I finished my homework I walked into my bathroom as I undress to take a shower. As the first drop hit my skin, I remember the dream I had. It came so clear, clearer than the dream I had. The warm droplets steamed through the shower, melting into my soul as the words "I love you" and "I forgot to say goodbye" echoed through my head repeatedly.

I quickly turned off the shower trying to ignore the flashbacks, and wrapped my body into my pale pink towel, as I walked to my closet picking out my favourite blue dress and white heals. I picked out my long silver necklace; and my diamond long earrings to match, from my jewellery box that sat on the edge of my nightstand, as I grabbed my purse and ran downstairs.

"Aw honey you look beautiful!" My mom compliments In a high toned voice as she adds... "Where are you going honey?"

I stutter to make up a lie.. " um.. I'm going out with Layna and Carly!"

"That sounds great! Just be home by nine!" My mom answers from the kitchen. Just as I finish with my mom I look at my phone: 7:29 and I hear a strange knock on the door. "I'll get it!" I shout as I run to the door thinking that it was my dad from work.

As I look up I see Harry, standing in a black and white suit, with the most beautiful white bouquet and the sweetest smile...
